And while this is something that most fans of the show have wanted for two seasons, we know it’s not going to last. Come on. That’s just Sitcom Romance 101. You don’t have Ross and Rachel or Nick and Jess get together at the beginning and stay that way. Truth be told, if we want The Mindy Project to last, we should be rooting for Danny and Mindy to cool off.

Surprisingly, the show is still struggling a little to find its footing. I’m not sure exactly what the trouble is--the writing is great and the leads are all phenomenal, but with a revolving door of high-profile guest stars and a shifting supporting cast, it's been hard to feel like we spend any time really inhabiting the world Mindy lives in. Some exceptions, like this season’s excellent “Weiner Night” episode, have highlighted how great the show can be. But as the quality and tone fluctuates, one thing has remained constant. That’s the fizz-pop electricity between Mindy and Danny.

The show can’t risk letting that electricity stagnate into familiarity. The two will obviously fall apart eventually, and the only question that remains is how. Here are our best guesses.
